Family flower garden pedigree

As I mentioned in the previous post, I am going to share with you some of my favorite family tree templates and show you my take on them.

The first one I am going to share with you is this cute family flower garden pedigree, by Linda Angelastro:

 

It can be created in BASIC, son you can start right now, since it is free.

It can be personalized with any color you like, in fact here is a boy version:

 and you can also add pictures if you like:

You can really do anything you want with it, and if you take advantage of the free Premier weekend, you can also add premier embellishments and back grounds:

You can really personalize it as much or as little as you want it!

If you don't have a free basic account yet, come get it!

San Valentino

This what Valentine's day is called in Italy.

Did you know that in Italy you only give a valentine to your special someone? I must say I was pretty surprised when I learned that here in America children (or should I say parents?) give valentines to all the friends in their class and anybody else they can think of! That's a lot of work! I am so grateful for digital scrapbooking! I can create one valentine and just make copies!

So, today I want to give my special valentine to all of you that enjoy my blog and my ideas, and that have a passion or simply like everything Italian.

These 2 phrases both mean I love you, but the first one is more as a friend or as a relative, the second one is for your one and only:

Here are some more Italian Valentine word art:

I will love you forever

Heart and heartbit

You are my life

You can find more Italian word Art here.

I hope you enjoy them!

Let me know if you would like a customized Italian valentine, I can create practically anything!

Happy Valentine's day everybody!

Oh what can you do with a greeting card!

We all know what greeting cards are for, but when you are completely free to design them and to use all the pictures, word, embellishment you feel to use, you start to come up with various ideas, like:

A cute calendar card
You can insert it in one of those double 5x7 acrylic frames and it will be perfect on your desk!

A Timeless birthday calendar card
A favorite or secret recipes card
Perfect to share that special recipe with your dear ones.

A desktop frame card
Perfect to use with one of those acrylic frames you can find in any craft store.

A menu card
Perfect for a wedding, but also for any special occasion. You can make it as simple or as scrappy as you like.

A newsletter card
Your loved ones want to hear from you, and not all of them have emails, or facebook, so you can send a brief newsletter to let them know about your life. You can do it once a year( i.e: Christmas) once a month or any time you feel like it, and you'll see a new habit among all your relative: Greeting card collections (mostly yours!).

A genealogy tree card

A cute simple way to have your 4 generations family tree at a glance.
Even the little ones will enjoy looking at it...
You might want to make more than one copy, as this will be looked at often.

If you want to try any of these ideas and create a greeting card yourself, you are in luck! You can get a free greeting card coupon this month!!! Discover how here!

Stay tuned for more ideas, and don't forget that until September 16 you can take advantage the best deal of the year on HM greeting cards! Check it out!

When friends move away...

Don't forget to say goodbye!

Some good friends of ours moved far away, and we don't know when we will be able to see them again, so I couldn't let them go without at least creating a card to express how much we will miss them.

This card was created with the new FREE basic Digital Art in Studio 3.0
Stay tuned for more ideas!
